FATHER DIVINE’S Message given Whilst at the Holy Communion Table 20 West 115 Street, New York City
Thursday, March 19 1936 A.D.F.D., After Midnight

The song below preceded the message. Most effective and appropriate was this particular song, which was as an introduction to this great revelation from the Lord, for it was in accord with same. By the permission of FATHER , this great piece of literature is passed on to you.

Thank YOU FATHER.

Song

‘Love! Love! Wonderful love!
Love! Love! Wonderful love!
It flows like a river, forever and ever,
From FATHER DIVINE.

Love! Love! Wonderful love!
Love! Love! Wonderful love!
I flows like a river, forever and ever,
From FATHER DIVINE.’

PEACE EVERYONE:

(“Peace FATHER DEAR!” came the happy greeting from the throng.)…Now look at you. That little song you all seem to love so well, while you may enjoy it and believe it sincerely, there are those of our present civilization who do not enjoy such a version, not only the version as it is put forth through you and in your experience, but apparently, they do not enjoy the reality of this love that flows like a river, in reality.

So precious and sacred is the LORD, our GOD to all humanity, and so mercifully sacrificed is HE to all His children, that the very Words HE speaks, which are His Own creative Inner Self, should be our utmost consideration and contemplation at all times. In this beautiful and heart-satisfying Message, FATHER so dynamically delivered in the Krum Elbow Mansion, there is food for body, soul and mind that should stimulate the devotion of one and all in their endeavors to live this immaculate Life of CHRIST, and be more perfectly consecrated than ever.

FATHER stresses that the united meanings of the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence, were nothing less than “Life, Liberty and the reality of Happiness,” to be the goal of American democracy, and in His eagerness to open wide this door for the children of men, HE reveals that the impersonal and unselfish Life of CHRIST, with a constant recognition of GOD’S Ever-Presence, is the only way to attain this desired hope and aim. For His Beloved Heart of Sincerity towards one and all, we truly love HIM!

As a forerunner to His significant Words, HE sang for us the following little revelation; given in part. Thank YOU, FATHER!

SONG

‘Life, Life, Life; Life and Liberty.
Life, Life, Life; Life and Liberty.
Oh, that is what you need, etc..

If you get Life and Liberty, I will give the rest, etc..
Liberty is privilege, that is what you need,
Liberty is the privilege all are seeking,
Oh, that is what you need!

You will have an access wheresoever you may go,
If you have Life and Liberty; Success comes by
your Liberty, and also by your privilege —
I say, Life and Liberty!’
